On xhtmlteacher.org I now have a basic taxonomy with terms set up for my xhtml class material and I’ve added the first pages. I managed to set up a menu and create urls that are very similar to the way things were organized on the hand-coded site; minor victories that have given me confidence. One thing that bothered me was that breadcrumbs didn’t work for the menu that I had created. I didn’t know that Drupal core does not feature breadcrumb support for any menu other than “Navigation”, but I found out when I came across the breadcrumb module.
The module was perfectly easy to install and it works the way it was advertised. In the meantime, I’m back on Drupal IRC (Nick xhtmlteacher if you are looking for me) and I’m back on Drupal.org and Drupal Groups. I’ve had one question that is such a n00b thing that I’m unsure where to post it. I can’t figure out how to get rid of the search box in the left hand column. I have set the search block to be on the right hand side, and it is…but it’s repeated on the left as well, at least when I’m logged in as administrator. Under any other role it doesn’t show at all, regardless of permissions. I’m missing something simple.
I am guessing you are not using the same theme for admin pages as you are for the rest –
check your theme settings and disable search.
If this doesn’t do it check your theme’s template.php and/or page.tpl to see if it’s hard coded in there.
Good luck!
Thanks Katrin! That was good advice. I made sure that the admin and the site template was the same (they weren’t), and then I checked through how to implement search, via menu, module, block, etc. I found my permissions weren’t set right. When I fixed those I could now see the right and left search boxes with authenticated users and admin. Ok, at least that was consistent!
I tried several different themes, including Garland and Zen, with similar results so I don’t *think* it’s hard-coded into the theme, but I really haven’t checked yet. Will do tomorrow. In the meantime, I have disabled the search module until I can figure this problem out…no hurry on this, thankfully.
Edit: Ok, I read through your comment a little more carefully and realized that search can be enabled in theme settings as well. I re-enabled the search module, went to themes>Zen>configure and sure enough found that pesky search option enabled. After de-selecting and saving – w00t! Success! Only one search box now shows…on the right where I want it.
